“THE CEYLON I KNEW” \u2013 by Des Kelly<\/span><\/strong><\/span><\/h1>\n

\"History<\/p>\n

What better reading could there be ?. I am sure that each and every e’Lankan who, for various regrettable reasons, had to leave the CEYLON they knew, will have memories to cherish for the rest of their lives. Sure, there would be sad memories intermingled with the happy ones, perhaps parents and grand-parents as well as other close relatives they had to leave behind, for various reasons, will often come to mind, but then connection through memory is the only possible avenue of sharing that special love, even though far apart. As I have always said (and written), no amount of financial assets could even be compared with precious memories. Personally, the first 26 years of my life in Ceylon were so special, although I have more than doubled that life in Australia, thinking back to the good old days of practically living most weekends at the beach down Kinross Avenue, as a youngster, leaving St.Peter’s College while still a teenager, to tour parts of the Island with an Engish Circus Group, under contract to Donavan Andree’, then joining the Royal Ceylon Navy, and leaving the Force to migrate to Melbourne, the Ceylon I knew still stands out in my memory, one that will never fade until they carry me out in a box. Before that happens, I would like to thank Keith Bennett for sending out this nostalgic account of CEYLON.<\/span><\/p>\n

Memories – Ceylon then<\/b><\/span><\/p>\n

The gram sellers at Galle Face Green sold their ‘kadala gottu’ topped with<\/span>
\n‘isso wade’ for twenty-five cents .<\/span>
\nThe movie goers at Savoy cinema came out; Couples went to Aleric’s for ice<\/span>
\ncream and families miserly budgeted for Chinese fried rice at Golden<\/span>
\nGate .<\/span>
\nGunawardena opened batting for the Tamil Union and Sunderalingam kept<\/span>
\nwickets for the Sinhalese Sports Club .<\/span>
\nThis was once nostalgic Sri Lanka on easy street sans the raging war and<\/span>
\nthe terrible turmoil; ‘The way it used to be’ .<\/span>
\nThe ‘Yal Devi’ took the Madhu pilgrims and the ‘Ruhunu Kumari’ carried the<\/span>
\nKataragama clan. Marawila fishermen fished at Mullativu with the<\/span>
\nmonsoon change and Lever’s and Reckitt’s Sales Reps sold toothpaste in<\/span>
\nJaffna and drank ‘Tal Raa’ whilst bathing in the Keeramalai tank .<\/span>
\nThe Vel cart used to come down Wellawatte and the waiters worked double<\/span>
\ntime at the Sarasvati Lodge .<\/span>
\nThe differences were there from the North to the South, but who cared ?<\/span>
\nNobody killed anyone. There was a life, simple and in peace .<\/span>
\nBala Tampoe took the CMU out on strike every year and the Parliament<\/span>
\nchanged colours every five years with mythological promises . That was<\/span>
\nacceptable .<\/span>
\nThe queues got long at the CWE to buy ‘Jumping Fish’ and the bread prices<\/span>
\nleapt like high jumpers. Those were our big problems .<\/span>
\nThe smiles were there too, affordable to the all and sundry, beat shows and<\/span>
\nbig matches, sports meets and school carnivals, all within a ten-rupee<\/span>
\nbudget .<\/span>
\nFashion-wise, the pinnacle was the CR-Havies Match at Longdon Place; the<\/span>
\nSuzettes and Claudettes were there, dazzling in mini skirts, making<\/span>
\ntheir best attempts to get partnered to go to the Coconut Grove and jingo<\/span>
\nand jive to the Jetliners .<\/span>
\nSome made it to Akasa Kade too, to eat egg hoppers and hold hands and<\/span>
\nbecome more naughty whilst pretending to be watching the ship lights at<\/span>
\nthe Colombo harbour .<\/span>
\nThere was peace; it was a long long time ago. That was before the Morris<\/span>
\nMinor taxis changed their English alphabet number plates .<\/span>
\nThen came the carnage. Who’s to blame? Don’t waste time, that’s kicking the<\/span>
\nmoon and corralling clouds .<\/span>
\nWe all know better. We are all to be blamed, some for cheering and others<\/span>
\nfor their silence. It has always been ‘our soldiers’ – but it is their war .<\/span>
\nThe guns are silent now and the talks go on and hope seeps slow like a<\/span>
\nweed-clogged wave. If the Gods are kind, we’ll have peace. Let it lie there<\/span>
\n.<\/span>
\nNorth and East must be separate ‘Don’t give this’, ‘can’t have that’,<\/span>
\n‘autonomy? what nonsense?’ Such passionate phrases bellow from<\/span>
\nborrowed patriotism . ‘My son has to study’, ‘No no, not to join the Air<\/span>
\nForce’, ‘Army? Are you mad?’ The same voices add the contradictions ‘We<\/span>
\nmust continue to fight at any cost’ .<\/span>
\nBrave words, quite cheap too when rights and wrongs are just ‘whys’<\/span>
\nsprouting out from empty opinions on even emptier forums .<\/span>
\nTry telling all that to mothers who buried their sons or children who pray<\/span>
\nfor their missing fathers .<\/span>
\nVoice it to a legless ‘Boy’ from Velvettiturai or a Sightless soldier from<\/span>
\nDevundara. Or maybe to a lover who lights a candle for some forgotten<\/span>
\n>- fighter buried under swollen earth, too poor even for a memorial.<\/span>
\nWhat does it matter to which side they belonged ?<\/span>
\nThey paid the price, we didn’t. They shed the tears, we didn’t .<\/span>
\nLet us then wish, nay, that’s not enough, let us pray, to all the gods in<\/span>
\ncreation for ‘The way it used to be’ to return ..<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
